When I watch series like this, I usually tend to watch them all at once. So I got lazy and may have not written anything for the rest of season one and the beginning of season two. So here, all at once I'll do a mini commentary on each episode that I haven't blogged about and since my brother in law wants to read my reactions to episodes, I will be posting more :P
So a quick commentary about the rest of season 1
Episode Three: The Witch
I really liked the twist in this episode. It pretty much made it that much better. Like the twist in fight club.
Episode Four: Teacher's Pet
Oh Xander and his love of the female of the species. Pity, this female isn't our species and tries to eat him. They left this episode really open-ended having some of the eggs still be preserved at the end, but i don't know if and when they're going to follow up on that.
Episode five: Never Kill a boy on the first date
So- there's this guy named Owen, and let's just say that he almost gets killed. Leading Buffy to think that she's doomed if she wants to find love. If only Angel was around more.. sigh...
Episode 6: The Pack
Now this episode is really freaking creepy. It has these kids, plus Xander getting possessed by Hyenas and wreaking havoc, and eating the school mascot and the principal. Luckily Xander was locked up at that point and didn't partake. It was disturbing to see Xander be that much of a jerk. I think in this episode he takes his shirt off for the first time showing us that- no matter how much of a loser he's portrayed as being, he's still got a damn fine body.
Episode 7: Angel
This episode we find out how much Angel's been hiding from Buffy. And why he's so bloody mysterious. Oh, that's right- He's a vampire. I totally saw that coming.
Episode 8: I, Robot...You, Jane
Remember when I called bad things in Willow's future? Well this is it folks. She meets this guy online who turns out to be a demon that got out of a book and onto the internet and is wreaking havoc. At this point I feel like I might need to start making up a body count list of how many teenagers go missing/ end up dead in sunnydale because it seems at this point there's a never-ending supply of teens to kill off.
Episode 9:The Puppet show
One thing that bothered me about this episode was that the kid who had the dummy had brain cancer, and no one really cared... which was depressing to say in the least.
Episode 10:Nightmares
This one also is disturbing because the kid was beaten by his baseball coach. Oh, and Giles' nightmares are adorable. Forgetting how to read, and getting lost in the stacks. Aww<3
Episode 11:Out of Mind , Out of sight
Soo, this episode has this girl who gets ignored so much she turns invisible... and insane.
Which when the men in black take her away for a special operations unit at the end, where she opens a book and it has assassinations and other stuff that she's going to be learning... Just a tad scary.
Episode 12: Prophecy Girl
So Buffy is fated to die while facing the master... and does. Kind of. Until Xander does CPR on her, which apparently works like magic. Then they throw him through a glass window and he dies. All that's left are some bones.
Your final sentence makes it seem like they threw Xander through a window. Just saying!
ReplyDeleteI love the Hyena eps. It's one of my all-time favourites. I love the way he thinks he's "in the know" for the first werewolf ep, too, and how majorly that backfires on him!
And yes, the excellent dialogue is one of the main things that made this show a huge hit!
